Very honest of you.

3 little things

A mixed up little blog of thoughts about branding and reviews and having a day job

 

[Gonk the Insane]

Nice post, Jo, and interesting point about whether writing as a day job would bring its own pressures. It's something I've wondered about myself from time to time (though it's not really an issue currently).

A bad back..

 

[J-Sun]

I don't post all (or maybe even many) of these, but I wanted to spread the word about Greg Egan having a really good new story up at Tor.com: Rec: "Uncanny Valley" by Greg Egan (which also mentions a Baxter story). This is right on the heels of reading a good short-short from Vernor Vinge: Rec: "Legale" by Vernor Vinge. I also read a good one in F&SF by Michael Swanwick called "Starlight Express" (that issue also had a light story by Oliver Buckram called "Hollywood Squid"). My blog post only links to the review and the review is not my best (not that anything I've done lately is) so I just figured I'd mention the stories here.

Aaargh. I wish my name tag thingy would work; I just happened upon this.

Yes. Push, push, push. You can't give up. Agreed.

but don't forget to also: lie, blame, rant, obfuscate, shame and inveigle... (works for me )

I didn't write a long blog, but I wrote about this news article for the members of BSFS.
N.K. Jemisin’s ‘The Fifth Season’ Book To Be Developed As TV Series At TNT

N.K. Jemisin won the Hugo a few years ago, during the whiny puppies sad whatever dispute. And her book series is being made into a TV show.
Win the Hugo, get a TV show, profit. Well, we hope. This is TNT we're talking about here.
